I attended the University of St Andrews, and attained a first-class BSc (hons) degree in Computer Science I am a keen learner, and always eager to experiment with new technologies, frameworks, and paradigms.
Throughout my academic career, I have completed modules focused on Object-Oriented Programming, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, Networking, and Web Development. Each of these modules contained at least 2 coursework exercises to gain a practical foundation in these important concepts. For a full list of the modules I've completed, see the 'modules' section below.
In this role, I am responsible for implementing new features, fixes, and improvements in line with requirements. This contributes to the development and maintenance of Cherwell's leading ITSM platform, Cherwell Service Management. I am involved in a responsive team which adheres strongly to Agile and TDD principles.
I developed a comprehensive testing tool to exercise the main codebase and completed an indepth performance investigation into the main application. I participated in an Agile/Scrum team, experienced and conducted code reviews, attended sprint planning and review meetings, took part in standups, and was exposed to industry practices such as Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, TDD and multi-branch version control. Referral from Director of Engineering available on request.
I conducted freelance work on a client record system, gathering information and correcting inaccuracies for a start-up UX/SEO constultancy business based in London.
I conducted research on potential new clients and performed maintenance on client records. I also got to use an internal evaluation tool used to determine how video games could be better monetized.
For my dissertation project, I developed a system which can digitally render sheet music and play back according to a specified BPM. A BPM can also be calculated using a Wii remote as a conductor's baton.
